A Denial Implies There’s Something to Deny

  • A Denial Implies There’s Something to Deny
    I can’t resist this one: Defense Secretary Rumsfeld told a news conference that he doesn’t intend to mislead the press. “I donÂ’t believe itÂ’s ever happened that I have lied to the press, and I donÂ’t intend to start now,” he said.

    However, doesn’t his apparent need to say he won’t lie imply that the pentagon and past Defense Secretaries have lied to and misled the press? No, not the US gov’t.
